PPD

My new baby is 8 days old. Since I came home from the hospital I feel more and more down and things have been unusual in my life, and I think it's because of how I'm feeling... I've been fighting with my husband, and I go through crying spells, I have no patience with my older daughter, and I'm just not myself....
I'm thinking it could be PPD, and I have an appointment with my OB on Monday... what can they do to treat this, if that is in fact what I have?
If you have it, and it has been treated, do you feel normal again?
If so, how long did it take?

It could be PPD but don't rule out the baby blues. I had the baby blues lasted around 15 days after I had my LO and I felt smurf and acted like a grump.

It's all still pretty new, I think they don't classify it as PPD until a bit later. But something you can do is start taking omega 3's and a b complex, and maybe some b12 in addition. I have struggled with depression for years, was on drugs and the whole bit, and I am having better results with omega 3's and b than what my doctor prescribed. There is research showing omega 3's are good for brain function and mood, and b vitamins help your body cope with stress. It can't hurt you, and will most likely help. Good luck with everything!
